Today on the Celestine and the Hare calendar is make a paper boat day. I made a copper moon boat which was a commission but also felt right for the eve of Lughnasadh and Lammas. Giving thanks to the person who nudged me back to working with copper, a good time to start as the earth turns golden.

The Northland Smalls invited Mouse to join them on an evening sail under the light of the golden moon Mouse blushed a little at such a deep honour and set to work making their boat befitting of such an occasion with bunting and star flags. They hoped it was enough 🌝🌊🌝 Summer collection 25th July 8pm

There will be a small collection of summery boat loving creatures Saturday 25th July 8pm subscribe to my email and you can get a sneak peek into my head and the train of thought that goes from a wooden boat to Christmas carols to poems and local ponds that became the inspiration for the collection.
